- Excerpt from School as Polling Place:
School districts are encouraged to hold a teacher institute day with no students in attendance or close school on Election Day if the school is used as a local polling place. Additionally, any government agency which makes a public building under its control available for use as a polling place must (1) ensure the portion of the building serving as a polling place is accessible to handicapped and elderly voters and (2) allow the election authority to administer the election. This Act applies to the upcoming November 2014 elections.
